Mostly Ds? You’re Fruit Hand Pies

Bubbly, outgoing and decidedly quirky, you’re always the first in line at ka- raoke to sing your favorite song, and don’t mind at all if you’re a little off-key. Just like fruit hand pies take a “get up and go!” attitude toward snacking, you might have started a dancing flash mob once or twice in your life, always pulling people in from the sidelines to get involved. Generosity is your middle name, which means that you’re never caught without something to share with others — and maybe a few extra homemade coconut hand pies in your purse. MAKE THE PIE FUNKY: When it comes to filling, if you can dream it, you can hand-pie it. Looking for inspiration? Start by mixing and matching with some unexpected herbal addi- tions: blueberries and lavender, for instance, or cherries and thyme. HAVE A DRINK WITH YOUR PIE:

A classic pilsner or dark lager is a strong choice so you can move freely with pie in one hand and beer in the other.

Mostly Es? You’re Lemon Ice Box Pie

e

A little bit sour and a little bit sweet, sass and brass are your calling cards. You might come off as somewhat icy when you first meet people — and some say you’re an acquired taste when compared to your more famous frozen pie cousin, key lime — but those you let into your inner circle know you’re fiercely loyal and support them no matter the situation. A natural rule breaker, you’re always the first to speak your mind around the holiday dinner table (no matter how much drama it causes) and don’t mind standing out in a sea of more traditional cold-weather pies. MAKE THE PIE FUNKY: Try mixing up your fruit choice (strawberry is always a hit) or grilling your citrus — lemons, oranges, you name it — for extra caramelization and depth of flavor. HAVE A DRINK WITH YOUR PIE: A glass of bubbly Prosecco is a perfect match, or if you’re ready to double- down on the lemon, a French 75. When it comes to pie — and life — savory (and savoring it) is the name of the game for you; you’ll take a crawfish pie over the sugary stuff any day of the week. Outdoorsy, health-focused and always ready to head out into nature, grabbing a Yeti cooler for a camping adventure or long, leisurely afternoon of fishing constitutes a dream weekend for you. When it comes to the holidays, you’ll be just as happy whipping up something for a solo cool-weather meal over an open flame than gathering around a table with a gaggle of cousins. Because for you, there’s nothing quite like reconnecting with yourself and the hum of plants and animals in the fresh air. MAKE THE PIE FUNKY: Miniature, single-serving crawfish pies are ideal for group settings and, let’s face it, look downright adorable. HAVE A DRINK WITH YOUR PIE: A Vieux Carré (cognac, Benedictine, sweet vermouth, rye and aromatic bitters) is a potent, smooth cocktail that can handle the savory, flaky-meets-creamy complexity of a crawfish pie.
